Maine Wildlife Park Map and Brochure (2021 – 2023)
Location: Gray, Maine
Years Active: 1931 – Active
Maine Wildlife Park isn’t a zoo. It’s a place where animals who can’t survive in the wild get a second chance. You’ll see moose, sure, but also bears missing paws or eagles who healed from broken wings. It’s not always pretty, but it’s real.
This place has been around forever – since 1931! So yeah, some of the enclosures feel a bit dated. But, they’re always working to improve things. Want to see something cool? Go during feeding time. The bears get surprisingly competitive.
They have way more than just the big, famous animals. Keep an eye out for smaller critters like porcupines and fishers. The owls are incredible, especially at dusk when they start getting active.
Don’t come in peak summer. Crowds get thick and the animals hide in the shade. Fall is gorgeous here, the leaves change, and the animals are more playful. If crowds don’t bother you, the winter festival is a blast.
